Two years after 10,000 players were trapped in the VR world and forced to participate in the impossible death game known as Sword Art Online, VR technology has only continued to evolve. A state-of-the-art AR device called the Augma has risen to prominence, becoming a near-essential part of everyday life as well as the exclusive home of an MMORPG called Ordinal Scale. Blurring the lines between fantasy and reality, Ordinal Scale quickly captures the attention of Kirito and his friends, who decide to start playing. But things take a turn when Kirito gets word of SAO bosses appearing inside this new world...

Witness the first steps in the story of the girl who would one day become the infamous "Zekken!" Leaving behind the VR hospice program Serene Garden, Yuuki and her older sister Ran follow their new friend Merida into the Japanese-style VRMMMORPG Asuka Empire! Astounded by the twins' rapid progress, Merida questions how they acclimated so fast, leading Ran to divulge that they're running the game on modified NerveGear-- the same technology used to dive into SAO...

"After a close call with Morte and his PK gang during the Stachion questline, Asuna and Kirito make their way toward the front line. Trekking through the harsh desert, they arrive at the dark elf fortress Galey--where they're reunited with their old companion, Kizmel, who gives them a clue about the poison pick Morte used in his last attack. But that lead will have to wait, as the three must retrieve the floor's sacred key before the fallen elves bring their nefarious scheme that much closer to fruition."--Provided by publisher.

Yuuma Ashihara is playing Actual Magic, a virtual reality MMORPG, when it suddenly begins to fuse with the real world.

"This might be a game, but it's not something you play. Asuna and Kirito's romantic day turns into a quest to uncover the mystery of the flying house. Teaming up with some familiar faces may not be enough, though. They'll need heart, brains, and a whole lot of courage if they want to clear this one. And when Asuna begins to have out-of-body experiences, their investigation returns a shocking possibility--maybe it's not an issue with the system, but rather something tugging at her very soul"--

"Die in the game, and you die in real life. The only way out is clearing the massive floating castle Aincrad. The pinnacle of heroic sagas kicks off here!"--Amazon.

"Asuna and Kirito have made it to Aincrad's sixth floor, where in the town of Stachion they find something very odd--puzzles everywhere they look. New mysteries and complex riddles await, many of which can't be solved with a sword...Fighting against the odds, the two will have to put their heads together if they want to make it out alive. But as they focus their attention on confronting the challenges ahead, will they be ready for the sinister forces that lie in wait?"--Amazon.

The fifth-floor boss, Fuscus the Vacant Colossus, brings the raid party to the brink of destruction when it reveals mechanics that are completely different from the game¿s beta. On top of that, PoH, the leader of Laughing Coffin, attacks Kirito to obtain the Flag of Valor. Will Kirito be able to overcome these unexpected trials and make it out of the fifth floor alive?!

It's the fifth squad jam and Llen's valued at one hundred million credits. Thrown out into the fog, she's persisted in looking for other participants and finally managed to team up with someone. However, one hour after the start, the outside field starts to crumble until all that's left is a three-kilometer castle. Llen and friends just barely escape the crumble but Pitohui (?) dies from Shirley's(?) exploding ball. The end is nearing, but there's a newly added special rule.¿¿

Kirito and Asuna have learned a dangerous secret¿the fifth-floor boss will drop a powerful item that might overturn the fragile relationship between the two strongest guilds! On top of that, the intrepid pair stumble across a Romeo-and-Juliet-style story between the guilds that gives them some distracting ideas about how dating in the game could work¿But all that will have to wait until after they assemble a team to defeat the boss and stop the brewing conflict!

After two hundred long years apart, Kirito has finally been reunited with Ronie and Tiese, as well as Alice¿s younger sister, Selka! But Kiritös face is not the one they¿re most shocked to see... Commander Eolyne Herlentz of the Integrity Pilothood bears a striking resemblance to Eugeo, a likeness that deals a heavy blow to the hearts of the reawakened women.

And not to be outdone, the party back in Unital Ring reaches the second tier and launches into their next major encounter!

There, he¿ll come face-to-face with the true identities of the Seven Dwarves and undergo a special trial of his own. But given that Haruyuki and Kuroyukihime are no longer connected by the Black Legion, what will become of their bond...?

"A BRAND-NEWBATTLEFIELD AWAITS! There may be a hundred-million-credit bounty on Llenn s head, but she's not going to let that stop her from gunning for the champion's throne. However, she won't have the help of SHINC this time thanks to a new rule that forces all players to scatter to the four winds! Loose bonds will form while the bullets fly. But just as old rivals find themselves working together, Llenn soon finds herself staring down the barrel of Fukaziroh's grenade launcher. This Fifth Squad Jam may be anyone's game, but how will their friendships fare after the dust settles...?"--

"Nearly two months have passed since Kirito and Asuna found themselves trapped in the world of Aincrad. Kirito's experience with the beta version of the game has put him far ahead of the curve, but it has also attracted the attention of some dangerous players...For Asuna, his competence has been a god send in this harsh world, yet she can't help but feel like her overreliance on Kirito's skills is becoming an obstacleto their growing relationship. Even so, they'll have towork together to make it through the ancient ruins ofthe fifth floor, where all sorts of undead monsters--and player-killers--lurk in the shadows!"--Provided by publisher.

"On the eightieth floor of the Central Cathedral, Kirito, Asuna, and Alice reunite with the petrified visage of Selka...and discover two more statuesque figures in need of assistance!

"After clearing the Five Ordeals, LPFM and SHINC scarcely have a moment to rest before the 5th Squad Jam is announced. And this time around, there's a new rule that's sure to disorient the participants: Players can swap gear with any of their teammates during the match. Naturally, Llenn and her squad resolve to take on the challenge and quickly get to strategizing. But soon they catch wind of an additional stipulation that will stack the odds against them: Whoever takes out Llenn in the tournament will receive a bounty of one hundred million credits!" --
